Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the employer's cassation appeal against a lower court order mandating the reinstatement of a nurse and union leader. The employer had suspended the plaintiff twice for alleged misconduct, but disciplinary proceedings were terminated due to lack of proven violations. The court held that Article 22 of the Labor Code obligates employers to permit employees to perform agreed work, and suspending a union leader constituted unlawful harassment violating labor protections.
